Mortality rates following hip fracture are high. There are several scoring systems which aim to predict morbidity and mortality in hospital in-patients. The Nottingham Hip Fracture Score (NHFS) was devised to predict 30 day mortality following hip fracture. All patients with hip fractures admitted over a 6 month period were reviewed. The NHFS was calculated for each patient and any associations between patient factors, NHFS, and outcome were investigated.Introduction
